Lee Cotter and Astrid Olsson of Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair express a high amount of respect for traditional tailoring, evinced by the shoe repair shop in London from which they take their name. At the same time, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair's specialty lies in experimenting with new techniques to break conventional norms in fashion. This spirit is exemplified in the designers' creative process for Project White T-Shirt, in which Lee and Astrid reconstructed a white t-shirt by building a web of knots to create an elegant neck-piece. In this way Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair often experiments with new techniques as a starting point and guide from which they develop shapes and ideas.
